Article Abstract

Combining microfluidic with sensors enables the development of smart analysis systems. Microelectrodes can be embedded within the microchannels network for electrical sensing, electrochemical analysis or impedance measurement. However, at the laboratory scale, the assembly between microfluidic network and electrical parts on the substrate remains an issue. This paper first discusses the principles of biosensing, and then proposes an original device integrating microfluidics with microelectrodes for the analysis of red blood cells transit in a structure mimicking micro-vascular flow. Some results concerning red blood cells discrimination of sickle cell disease are discussed with statistical analysis.Clinical relevance- This paper introduces a portable reusable device combining a microfluidic blood vessel mimicking network with microelectrodes for the biosensing of RBC.

Objective: The short-term efficacy of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion among general traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients is unclear.

Methods: We used the MIMIC database to compare the efficacy of liberal (10 g/dL) versus conservative (7 g/dL) transfusion strategy in TBI patients. The outcomes were neurological progression (decrease of Glasgow coma scale (GCS) of at least 2 points) and death within 28 days of ICU admission.

A High-Efficiency Electrochemical Biosensor for the Detection of Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells.

Anal Chem

December 2024

Center for Cell Structure and Function, Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Animal Resistance Biology, College of Life Sciences, Shandong Normal University, Jinan, Shandong 250014, China.

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells exhibit significant potential in the assessment of tumor development and immunotherapy. However, there is currently no convenient and efficient method to analyze the quantitative changes of MAIT cells during cancer development and treatment, which has not been extensively studied. Here, we report an electrochemical biosensor designed to efficiently monitor MAIT cells in peripheral blood by simultaneously recognizing Vα7.

This post-marketing surveillance (PMS) assessed the safety and effectiveness of isatuximab plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Isa-Pd) for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in frail individuals during real-world use in Japan. Data from all individuals with RRMM treated with Isa-Pd in Japan between October 2020 and October 2021 were collected, with follow-up continued up to 12 months after starting Isa-Pd or until discontinuation. In the overall PMS population, 40 participants were classified as frail (33.

Efficacy and safety of rituximab in primary IgA nephropathy: a retrospective study.

Clin Exp Nephrol

December 2024

Department of Nephrology, Ningbo Yinzhou Second Hospital, No. 998, North Qianhe Road, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, 315000, Zhejiang Province, China.

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) in primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN).

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on the medical records of 22 patients diagnosed with primary IgAN who received RTX treatment. The clinical data, including blood tests, urine examinations and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), were analyzed at four time point: baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
